Postdoctoral Position in Medicine

Technical University of Munich

The Institute for Artificial Intelligence in Medicine, directed by Professor Daniel Rueckert, focuses on AI and ML approaches for medicine and healthcare (www.aim-lab.io). Our aim is to develop AI and ML techniques for the analysis and interpretation of biomedical data. The group focuses on pursuing blue-sky research, including:

  • AI for medical imaging applications ranging from image reconstruction to analysis and interpretation
  • AI for the early detection, prediction and diagnosis of diseases as well as for the identification of new biomarkers and targets for therapy
  • Safe, robust and interpretable AI approaches as well as privacy-preserving AI approaches.

We have particularly strong interest in the application of imaging and computing technology to improve the understanding of brain development, to improve the diagnosis and stratification of patients with dementia, stroke and traumatic brain injury as well as for the comprehensive diagnosis and management of patients with cardiovascular disease and cancer.

We are based in the School of Medicine and Health at the Campus Klinikum Rechts der Isar (which is the university hospital of TUM) as well as in the School of Computation, Information and Technology at the Campus Garching. Our lab is affiliated with several machine learning initiatives in Munich, including the Munich Center for Machine Learning (MCML), the European Laboratory for Learning and Intelligent Systems (ELLIS Munich) and the Munich Data Science Institute (MDSI).

Qualifications

  • A PhD in Computer Science or related disciplines
  • Strong theoretical and practical background in machine learning, computer vision or medical imaging
  • Publications in machine learning, computer vision or image analysis applied to medical problems (CVPR, ICCV, NeurIPS, MICCAI or IPMI)
  • First supervision experience
  • Extensive programming experience with Python and Pytorch
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
  • Excellent communication & interdisciplinary skills
  • Willingness to participate in science coordination of MCML (i.e. organisation of workshop or seminar series)
  • Fluency in English (written and spoken)
